Quote of the day: "She can think for herself."

An unlikely quote from the unlikeliest media outlets.

Mika, barnicle and Willie Geist are discussing Bill's risk to Obama. Whether Bill's activities abroad would jeopardize barry's administration if Senator Clinton were Secretary of State. Finally someone realized that Senator Clinton would be the one in charge and that perhaps Mr Bill's contacts would be a good thing. Something they can't get their mind around because it would mean they would have to leave him alone for a moment.

Mika is a transparent Clinton gossiper. How does she think she got her job? Her looks, her father or her "mommyness"?

MIKA: Why would you waste what potentially the Clintons have to offer in terms of their contacts, their history and their experience both of them being in the White House for eight years?

WILLIE: And also, I think the Bill Clinton criticism assumes that Hillary Clinton will not be able to separate herself from that. In other words, when he takes a million dollars to give a speech in Kuwait -- I don't know what he was paid, I'm just putting that out there - assumes that she will give Kuwait favored status in some regards. She can think for herself.

I guess you listen to their crap long enough a nugget of truth slips out however grudgingly or unknowingly.
